To mil whom it may concern..-

Be it known that T, GEORGE 'Inonns SMALL- WOOD, a citizen of the United States, residing at 'Washington, in the District of Columbia, 1

5 have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ink-Erasers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which IO it appertains to make and. use the same.

The object of this invention is to provide for the use of Irook-keepers, drat'tsmen, and clerks a more complete and useful article in the torn] of? an eraser; and it consists in ecrtain t'eaturesof novelty, which are hereinafter particularly pointed out in the claims, being first described with relermice to the accompanying drz'uvings, in which- Ii igure I is a perspective view of one form of my invention. Fig. II is a plan view. I ig. III is an edge view. Figs. IV, V, VI, VII, and XI represent the preferred I'IIIIII of burnisher and extractor. Figs. VIII, IX, and X represent a modified form. Fig. XII illustrates the eraser in use. Fig. XIII illustrates the buruisher in use. Fig. XIV illustrates thumbtack extiaetor in use.

The invention consists in providing the shank I of an eraser, 2,'with a burnishing at- 0 tachment, 3, which. for draftsmen will serve the double purpose of burnisher and thumbtack lifter or extractor. This attachment may be formed in one piece with the eraser, as seen in Figs. I, II, III, and VII, or may be made 3 5 separately, as seen in Figs. IV and VIII, and clipped on, as seen in Figs. V, VI, VII, IX, X, and XI.

to elanipit to the eraser, but has the burnishing portion projecting from the back of said clamp Jr.

It will be seen that the attachment can be placed on either side of an eraser, as shown in Figs. V and XI, thus allowing of use with either the light or the left hand.

Having thus described my invention, the following is whatl claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters:

'1. A burnishing attachment for an eraser termed in one piece and shaped so as to have one part form a clamp to secure it to the eraser and the other part to form a burnisher and extractor, substantially as shown and de scribed.

2. A burnishing attachment for an eraser, shaped substantially as shown, its upper and lower portions scrvingi'or an attaching clamp and burnisher, res 'ieetively, as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have allixcd my signature in presence of two witnesses.
